Mode of attack of hydriodic acid on unsaturated glyceryl ethers

The mode of action of hydriodic acid (HI) on a sample rich in selachyl alcohol [1-O-9(cis)-octadecenyl glycerol] has been studied. HI attacked the olefinic bonds as well as the ether bonds, with the formation of at least two diiodides as well as the expected primary iodide. Subsequent conversion of...
